Bob and I would also like to wish you two a very Happy Birthday! We would also like to thank you guys for how much you have done for us with this site and your dedication to the workshops and the truck shows you have a booth at. What you guys have done is give us the tools to make us...

Hey Happy Birthday to Lawrence and to Debbie! Hope you guys have two really good days and we wish you the best. Thanks Lawrence for all you have done and bringing this great group of people together. Debbie, Thank you for all you do behind the scenes without you working in the background I am...

I knew you were pulling my leg but you know Pizza is a good start to standing around having a conversation about a company. We attended an impromptu Landstar cookout at one of the Expos with a bunch of us sitting around talking and we sure learned a lot of great things about that company...

Nice OVM no one was giving out Pizza that day or who knows..... One thing I do know is that what ever carrier we went with we were going to do the best we could and we would learn that system inside and out.

We have not had to chain yet either but we have run on ice and had no problems. I am sure with chains and as slow as we go they will act no different then the duals did. The tires though do not seem to like slick mud and I would not suggest these tires to anyone that runs on dirt roads a lot.

Many customers can tell you a horror story about a “company” and you know what the worst part is? The customer is usually only talking about what one representative of that company did that reflects on the whole of the company. How often have you heard we will never use “insert company name...

We have a bunch of those free magnets to hand out to customers that we give away all year. After Thanksgiving though we buy hard candy or this year I could not find the hard candy so turned to candy canes to hand out. I get cellophane and make a small bag add the wrapped hard candy and then...

I think that is a really neat idea!!!! That has to be a lot of fun. I think it would show even more good will to include all expediters as we are all out here doing the same job and with the same problems.

Deep lug tires have been discussed before and I do not know who started the thread and I am horrible at finding old posts! There is a misconception that if you just buy super single tires you will start saving on your fuel consumption. If you buy the deep lugs and your old tires were worn...

Sorry took so long to get back. The FASS system was between 500 and 600 dollars. We did add the system to the truck but the jury is still out. We had an injector go out on the truck so do not have a full running month with the system. So far we do not see much change in the performance of...

One of the features that sounding really awesome with this system was the voice to text. Instead of hearing turn right in .5 miles this system will tell you to turn right on a street name! I like that idea a lot.

Judy I swear the more they talked about what all this system will do I think I was almost drooling! It is very nice and I think will be awesome in the truck especially with a HazMat load.

http://www.alk.com/pcmiler/pcmiler_navigator.asp This Dash GPS has just been introduced and is all ready impossible to find in the truck stops. The cost is around $350.00 Finally a truck friendly GPS where you put in your dimensions and what you are hauling and then the GPS routes you. After...

You need to check the rolling resistance on the SS Tires as the deep lug tires are really bad for fuel mileage and take forever to wear in.

Have you done your research regarding the Super Singles? Did lots and lot of research before we bought ours There are a lot of pros and cons regarding these tires... If you were to have a blow out, Would you be able to obtain a tire is a decent amount of time? If not, and you were loaded...

The grass always looks greener.......

In the future I cannot see the industry playing today’s games with yesterday’s rules so the face of expediting is going to change with the economic times. I agree rates will go up as the economic recovery begins as there will be fewer trucks to haul the freight, we will just be hauling the...

That is really disappointing to hear about. Where you able to get the great discount we are now getting on Michelins?

The numbers are a great idea but I would use names not wife or husband.

I believe the common saying in Expediting is less miles more money!! That though is subject to change to get us through some tough times. The question is once we through these tough times will it go back? Probably not keep your eye to the future and adjust with the times. Change is a way...
